Attorney, Agent or Firm: Woodcock Washburn Kurtz Mackiewicz & Norris
A sealant material that is relatively chemically inert toward plastics and adhesives is comprised of a homogeneous mixture of polymeric polyester, said polyester being derived from adipic acid, and silica, the polyester comprising more than about 50 percent by weight of the mixture and the fumed silica comprising less than about 20 percent by weight of the mixture. In a preferred embodiment, the sealant material further contains an organofunctional silane coupling agent, a polyfunctional bridging agent, a dispersing agent and a fluorosurfactant. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A moisture-proof electrical connector for sealingly connecting transmission means therein comprising (a) a connector body having a receiving means for accepting and receiving a transmission means; and (b) a sealant composition disposed along or adjacent to the receiving means, said sealant composition comprising: (i) polymeric adipic acid polyester in an amount at least about 50% by weight of the composition; (ii) silica thickening agent dispersed in said polymer; (iii) organofunctional coupling agent; and (iv) polyfunctional bridging agent, said silica thickening agent and said coupling and said bridging agents being present in amounts sufficient to cause gelation of said composition.
2.
The connector of claim 1 wherein said composition has a viscosity of from about 125 units to about 350 units of 0.
1 mm each as measured by ASTM D217 Standard Test Methods for Cone Penetration of Lubricating Grease.
3.
The connector of claim 1 wherein: (a) the concentration of said polyester is from about 80% to about 95% by weight of the composition; (b) said silica thickening agent comprises a hydrophilic fumed silica in an amount at least 50% by weight of the silica; and (c) the concentration of said silica thickening agent is from about 5% to about 15% by weight of the composition.
4.
The connector of claim 3 wherein said organofunctional coupling agent is selected from the group consisting of (glycodioxypropyl)trimethoxysilane, hexamethyldisilizane, (methacryloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane, (epoxycyclohexyl)-ethyltrimethoxysilane and mixtures of these.
5.
The connector of claim 4 wherein said coupling agent comprises (glycodioxypropyl)trimethoxysilane in an amount from about 0.
1% to about 0.
4% by weight of the composition and said bridging agent comprises triethanolamine in an amount from about 0.
2% to about 0.
4% by weight of the composition.
6.
The connector of claim 3 wherein said polyfunctional bridging agent is selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane, triethanolamine, and mixtures of these
